Europe, US midwest here.. look out for your neighbors and yourself. We've got some similar heat over here at the moment, AC not quite adequate in my living situation either.

I cannot recommend enough some of Ben's (@nighthawkinlight on youtube) 18C/65F cooling pack recipe (1.2L water, 240ml Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4), 60ml table salt (NaCl), and additionally some 20mls xanthan gum to gel). It's so cheap that I've given a bunch of small packs out to neighbors and gym friends and everyone has been equally fastinated by them.

Small pack for my hat or shoulders, lasts some hour or so. Pillowcase, I want to make a blanket soon, but I've also made some small towel like ones that I've used outside extensively. This 115F/46C heat index weather is fucking miserable, 80% humidity, made more certainly worse by local microclimate. Im lucky to have a nice basement to retreat into, but I genuinely believe this simple recipe could be life saving. Cost me some 20USD total to make with simple freezer bags, but I invested in a vacuum sealer also for my food, but the bags have shown to be durable, especially resealing multiple times in the food preserver.

I don't mean to conpare the fucking US's situation to yours, but I feel the global wealth disparity will affect much the same regardless, and the warming still won't stop for anyone now. Be prepared, care for each other.

Good job. Now lets make coal mines a green investment too.

It’s really hard for me to stay motivated and doing my part when a decade of my hard work can be cancelled out in seconds by a few rich fucks meeting up for dinner.

What the in the corrupt fuck?

Me nuking the EU court couldn't necessarily be seen as a crime because alternatives lack the flexibility and convenience of a nuke.

Say "alternatives" in the title of that's what you're doing.

And ketchup is a vegetable.

If even private jets do, what does not count as green investment?

What American style bullshit is this?! 🤬

Private jets produced up to 19.5m tonnes of emissions in 2023, more than from all flights departing Heathrow airport that year, the International Council on Clean Transportation reported.

In 2024, climate scientists warned that the mega-rich use private jets like taxis – and found that flying in a private jet for a single hour can release more CO2 into the atmosphere than the average person produces in a year.

Once again it's the 0.1% ruining things for everyone else. When will we as a society finally say we've had enough

So, the cheque finally cleared then.

I am not happy about this ruling but I also really like disinformation. The court did not rule that "Private Jets Now Count As ‘Green’ Investments"

Next up, the EU subsidizes clearing forests for golf courses as green initiatives.

An EU court has said the manufacture of private jets can’t be excluded from a list of activities deemed to be environmentally sustainable, fuelling concerns about the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich.

Again with the weak sauce language from (supposedly) "leftist" media. No, Novara Media, it's not "fuelling concerns about the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich" it absolutely fucking IS the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich.

These people should be force-fed the writings of Rosa Luxembourg and Lucy Parsons until they remember how to use real language again.

That's like saying that cars are greener than buses because they're faster and more flexible

Then the EU’s General Court is stupid and bought. Sorry. Better you hear it from me here than someone in the street.

!nottheonion@lemmy.world

An EU court

In which country?!? Where does this "EU court" reside?!?

I suspect France, given that Dassault is involved. Or maybe it is the EU Court, but doubtful
